That Stretch Armstrong movie no one wanted is now set for April 11, 2014. The film was previously set up at Universal, but the studio has been dumping its Hasbro properties as fast as possible, and the adaptation Stretch Armstrong was left looking for a new home. The film has now landed at Relativity, the studio behind Haywire and the upcoming Mirror, Mirror and The Raven. Taylor Lautner was previously attached to star with Rob Letterman (Gulliver's Travels) set to direct, but they're both no longer attached.
Hit the jump for the press release, which is more about Relativity being happy to team with Hasbro rather than any explanation about why anyone should make a movie about Stretch Armstrong.
Here's the press release:
Relativity Media has partnered with global branded play company Hasbro, Inc. [NASDAQ-HAS] to develop and produce a live-action tent-pole film based on Stretch Armstrong, the iconic action hero figure launched in the 1970s, it was announced today by Relativity's Co-President, Tucker Tooley and Hasbro's President and CEO, Brian Goldner.
Relativity will be the domestic distributor and will release the film internationally through its network of foreign output partners. The film is targeted for an April 11, 2014 release date.
The film will be produced by Relativity's CEO, Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter), Hasbro's Goldner (Transformers) and Bennett Schneir, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Motion Pictures (Battleship). Tooley (Immortals) will serve as executive producer.
Hasbro has become an entertainment powerhouse by creating hit movies and television shows from its rich portfolio of world class brands. Since 2007, Hasbro's Transformers and G.I. Joe franchises have grossed nearly $3 billion at the worldwide box office. 2012 is shaping up to be another stellar year for Hasbro with its partners Universal Pictures releasing Battleship in April and Paramount Pictures releasing G.I. Joe: Retaliation in June. In television, Hasbro Studios produces shows like Transformers Prime and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that can be seen on the HUB television network in the U.S. and in more than 140 countries globally.
"We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Hasbro, a company whose global reach and ability to innovate has made them immensely successful in the arena of brand re-imagination– as evidenced by their legacy of creating such franchises as Transformers and G.I. Joe," said Tooley, "We look forward to bringing Stretch Armstrong to audiences worldwide."
"Stretch Armstrong is a great example of Hasbro's rich portfolio of intellectual properties that we are continuing to develop globally," said Goldner, "We are excited to partner with Relativity on this movie as they are a growing and innovative studio."
Stretch Armstrong is the classic action hero figure first launched by Hasbro in 1976 and re-launched in the 90's, sold successfully throughout North America and in markets across the world. The original Stretch's unique design broke free of traditional action figures, as he could be stretched over and over and always returned back to his original size. The nostalgic toy is considered to be rare and collectible to this day.
Relativity recently released Oscar®-winner Steven Soderbergh's dynamic action-thriller Haywire in theatres. Looking ahead, Relativity will release the the heart-pounding Navy SEAL action-thriller Act of Valor (in theatres February 24, 2012) and magical adventure comedy Mirror Mirror (in theatres March 16, 2012), starring Oscar®-winner Julia Roberts, Lily Collins, Nathan Lane, and Armie Hammer. The studio just wrapped production on the comedy 21 and Over and is currently in pre-production on Nicholas Sparks' gripping love story Safe Haven and the international espionage thriller Hunter Killer.

Sun, sea and sand… Tampa, on the coast of Florida, is a dream come true for sun worshipers and water lovers alike.
Tampa is one of the fastest growing regions in Florida and the 45 km beach along the Gulf of Mexico is certainly a big draw. Yet tourism is not the sole raison-d'être here and unlike other places in Florida, prices remain affordable.
A big attraction in Tampa is Fort DeSoto Park, a combination of untamed nature and an old fort. Yesterday's Air Force is also worth a visit with its impressive aeronautical exhibition. Children will love Busch Gardens, where African animals run wild, as well as the local amusement park.

Red Hat has announced a deal with Microsoft that will help boost virtualization compatibility between Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Both sides are touting the agreement as an important step for empowering interoperability in mixed environments where both platforms are used.
Unlike the controversial agreement between Microsoft and Novell, this deal does not contain any patent provisions or exclusionary intellectual property indemnification arrangements. This represents a major change in direction for Microsoft, because the Redmond giant has consistently refused to make interoperability agreements under such terms in the past.
Shortly after Microsoft and Novell announced their partnership in 2007, Microsoft publicly declared that Linux technologies infringe on hundreds of Microsoft's patents—a claim that has never been substantiated. Microsoft said that it would not negotiate any interoperability pacts with Linux vendors unless they agreed to also sign Novell-style patent indemnification agreements that are hostile to the kind of downstream redistribution that is inherent in the open source development model.
Red Hat offered several times to collaborate with Microsoft on interoperability issues outside the scope of patent agreements, but Microsoft argued that interoperability can't be addressed without first "solving the licensing issue." Microsoft has apparently reversed its position on that matter.
Under the terms of the new agreement, the two companies will mutually participate in each other's virtualization certification programs and collaboratively provide customers with official support for mixed deployments. What compelled Microsoft to do this without an IP indemnification deal? The company claims that it is in response to customer demand.
"Customer demand is the main driver behind these agreements with our competitor," said Microsoft virtualization manager Mike Neil in a blog entry. "Microsoft is pragmatically focused on helping customers and partners be successful in a heterogeneous IT world. We're committed to enable and support interoperability with non-Windows OSes. As a result we take a multifaceted approach to interoperability."
There is a growing body of evidence which demonstrates that Microsoft's approach to open source software is changing. For example, Microsoft is now a contributing member of the Apache software foundation and has released several of its own projects—including the Dynamic Language Runtime—under OSI-approved open source licenses. Microsoft's agreement with Red Hat is yet anther sign that Microsoft is accepting the reality of the open source software industry's large and growing relevance.
Red Hat is the top Linux server vendor and Microsoft has been sacrificing business opportunities by refusing to play ball in Red Hat's court. Microsoft has surely realized by now that Red Hat is never going to back down from its position on intellectual property issues, so Microsoft loses nothing by dropping the IP prerequisite. In the end, this is a win for both companies and their customers.

Israel's 'dirty laundry' in the West Bank
The Palestine Monitor
- December 05, 2017
Main News
] [
Send by email:
Israel has been exploiting Palestinian land to treat its own waste while applying less stringent environmental laws in the West Bank, according to a
published today by Israeli human rights NGO B'Tselem.
The report, titled "Made in Israel: Exploiting Palestinian Land for Treatment of Israeli Waste" details how Israel has been transferring waste to treatment facilities in the West Bank, mostly private companies, which operate amid a lack of transparency and without Palestinians' knowledge.
Researchers found there are at least fifteen Israeli waste treatment facilities in the West Bank processing waste mostly produced in Israel. Six of these handle hazardous waste, such as electronic, medical, solvent, and oil waste. While all waste treatment comes with a degree of risk, hazardous waste can be particularly dangerous to both health and environment if not properly treated or regulated.
Two recent Israeli laws that pertain to waste treatment don't apply in the West Bank, where it is still regulated by older military orders. These are the Clean Air Law (2008), which introduced more advanced standards regarding air pollution compared to previous legislation; and the 2012 Environmental Protection Law (Pollutant Release and Transfer Reporting and Registration Obligations), which sets parameters for reporting companies' impact on the environment and measures taken to offset it.
"It seems that Israel considers transporting hazardous waste into the West Bank as transporting it into its own territory. At the same time, Israel takes advantage that the West Bank is not a sovereign territory and has left significant gaps in the legislation," said Adam Aloni, B'Tselem's lead researcher on the project, speaking to members of the press at the report's launch. He added that these actions amount to de-facto annexation and that Palestinians "were never even informed that this is happening."
While data is not available on the extent of the phenomena, a case in point is the Compost Or plant, which turns sewage sludge – sediments found at the bottom of water treatment tanks, made up of human feaces – into fertilizer. Israel recycles 65 percent of the sludge it produces. 60 percent of this is processed at the plant, transported from 25 municipalities located within Israel's 1967 borders. The rest is recycled in smaller facilities in Israel and the Golan Heights.
While sewage sludge is not considered hazardous waste, two similar facilities located inside Israel were shut in 2013 and 2014 after local residents protested about the stench they produced. The sludge from those plants was redirected to Compost Or, according to the report.
A few kilometers from the Compost Or factory is the Eco Medical plant, located in the Ma'ale Efrayim Industrial Zone. This is the largest Israeli facility to process infectious, biological and medical waste from hospitals and medical laboratories. According to the World Health Organization, risks related to the the handling of this waste include contamination of the environment and toxic effects.
Laxer regulations combined with tax breaks and subsidies provided by the government to settlement businesses make treating waste in the West Bank more profitable, the report argues.
The Basel convention, which Israel ratified in 1994, establishes principles for overseeing waste-management at inter-state level, including that hazardous waste can only be exported to countries that are able to manage it, after they are provided with detailed information about the waste and related risks, and with their consent. This cannot happen under military occupation, as settlement industrial zones are located in Area C, the 61 percent of the West Bank under Israeli control.
"This is what happens when millions of people live for fifty years without political rights," said B'Tselem's executive director Hagai El-Ad, adding that such issues typically receive much media attention and sometimes opposition from local communities, who have the right to be informed of what goes on around them. "All of this process is happening above their heads, without them being asked, without them knowing," El-Ad concluded.

One Day Apart
Posted by karen at 8:33 PM 9 comments
Monday, April 6, 2009
Bamboozlry, Inc.
I do April Fools Day about every third year. Apathetic otherwise.
It's that third year.
I'm already plotting my revenge for Jackson and Caroline strategically placing ketchup packets under my toilet seat that exploded like fireworks. Good one kids. Watch your backs.
McDesnudo fumed about not having any funny underwear in his drawer upon exiting shower (becuz I hid it). He replies "Is that the best you can come up with?"
But the raisin in the toothpaste was the best I could come up with. (or that my cousin Liz came up with last year) Cheers, Lizzy.
But dad blast it all to heck if he didn't use my toothpaste instead. And Caroline looked in her toothpaste and was instantly suspicious of the dark blob. Foiled again. How, oh how, I would have loved to have seen their faces as a brown unidentifiable object popped out of the toothpaste tube and onto their toothbrushes.
I elected to pass on the ol' tired-yet-still-panic-inducing "I'm pregnant" oldie-but-goody that I used in 2001, 04, and 07. No beating that dead horse this year. No sireebob.
Tangerines in the kids' favorite sweetened cereal boxes in lieu of beloved Trix?
Slightly satisfying but still a little weak.
Whole raw mushrooms in Caroline's Happy Meal instead of McNuggets?
Jackson looking over my shoulder as I write this right now just told me:
"that's just mean, not funny."
My SIL Ashley pulled this gem on her kids this year:
I'll say this much--it involves a diaper and Dinty Moore beef stew. And licking
said Dinty Moore beef stew out of diaper without her kids knowing that
it is indeed just Dinty Moore beef stew. I guess I just told you the entire gig.
I always remember April Fool's Day for a couple of other reasons:
It's my friend Rachelle Szymanski's birthday from the Texas days.
Happy birthday, pal.
And it's also Grandma Dorothy Meyer's birthday, Marc's grandma who I never
had the pleasure of meeting because she passed away over 35 years ago.

Claude Tate, an indispensable teacher in the BLS Program since its inaugural semester, passed away suddenly this past Thursday, April 25. He was in Hendersonville, where he and his wife of 35 years, Suzanne, have a mountain getaway.
Claude came to the BLS Program by way of his enrollment in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (his second master's degree), during which he studied under Dr. Stephen Ruzicka, who has been involved in the BLS Program since its conception. Claude's love of learning and teaching, his humanitarian spirit, and his interests in widely varied topics of learning made him a perfect fit for the BLS Program from the beginning.
Originally a native of Ossipee, NC, Claude began his college career at Rockingham Community College just out of high school. He finished his Bachelor of Arts in history at Appalachian State, before coming to UNCG for his first Master of Arts, also in history, and education coursework toward his Advanced Competencies certification. He taught history at Southwestern Randolph High School for twenty-eight years before retiring in 2008. Meanwhile, he had completed his second Master of Arts, in liberal studies, and begun teaching online for the BLS Program. A lifelong learner and teacher, Claude enjoyed the opportunity to teach students at a higher level and in more esoteric subjects. After his retirement from SRHS, he also enjoyed the fact that teaching online allowed him the mobility to teach from his home in Asheboro, his mountain getaway in Hendersonville, or wherever else his family or interests took him.
Claude had a knack for engaging students in difficult subjects and for bringing struggling students to the joy of learning. He was a consummate teacher, even in retirement from a career as a teacher.
Dr. Ruzicka, who taught Claude in the MALS Program and introduced him to the nascent BLS Program in 2004, remembers that Claude "was always simultaneously a learner and teacher," and that he "pursued advanced degrees both for his own sake and for what he could add to his teaching." He observes that Claude would take on developing and teaching new courses in order to broaden his own understanding of the world. As Dr. Ruzicka puts it, Claude was "a wonderful big thinker and relentless interpreter, who always sought and found links and interconnections among seemingly disparate ideas and events. His own intellectual vitality made long dead people, unseen places, and forgotten events come alive as part of a timeless web of meaning. He gave himself over selflessly to students for nearly 40 years."
Claude's wide variety of interests is reflected in the posts he wrote after being conscripted as a contributor to the BLS Program blog. He immediately jumped on the rapidly rising cost of higher education, and wrote a few other posts on such political topics as (in no particular order) the resurgence of the American Right, the problem of explosive population growth, and the insidious power of congressional redistricting. But not all his posts were about political issues. He also wrote about excellent movies, gloriously bad movies, a rare little lightnin' bug, and perhaps most telling of the wild diversity of his interests, a post in which he outs himself as an "old space nerd" and gives us the news from the final frontier. This is neither a complete nor a chronological list, but there are some links if you want to go back and read some of his posts.
Claude is survived by his wife of 35 years, Suzanne, by his adult son Matt and daughter-in-law Ashley, and by their children Mason and Adeline. He also has a surviving half-brother, a sister-in-law, a niece and nephews, great-nieces and a great-nephew.
There will be a Celebration of Life gathering this evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at The Exchange in Asheboro. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorials be made to Friends of DuPont State Forest, PO Box 2107, Brevard, NC 28712, or to a charity of the donor's choice.

Brooklyn Beckham shows that he has inherited his parents' ability to pose for the camera as he makes his modelling debut at the age of 15.
David and Victoria's oldest child is pictured pouting - just like his mother - on the cover of Man About Town magazine.
His younger brother, Romeo, has already made a foray into the fashion world, recently modelling for Burberry.
Brooklyn posed in clothes from Ralph Lauren and Saint Laurent for the biannual men's magazine.
Football star David featured on a black and white cover for the publication last year, while Spice Girl turned fashion designer Victoria has graced the front of several magazines.
Man About Town's editor-in-chief Ben Reardon said: "We are thrilled to feature Brooklyn Beckham in a world exclusive on the cover of the spring/summer 2014 issue of Man About Town.
"Brooklyn's first published editorial is a 20-page fashion story celebrating teenage style, which shows a warm and honest insight into the moment men begin to express themselves through clothes.
"We could not have wished for a stronger subject than Brooklyn to bring this story to life. He was a diligent, relaxed cover star for his first ever fashion shoot.
"The story was a genuine pleasure for all involved. Brooklyn was a true professional and had a keen eye in the styling process, collaborating on selections from designers including Ralph Lauren, Saint Laurent and Supreme.
"It is clear that he is becoming a credit to the family name, not only possibly the most famous in the world but one with a wealth of heavyweight fashion influence behind it."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is leading an overnight walk through the nation's capital to raise awareness about suicide.
Organizers say 2,000 people will gather Saturday evening at George Washington University for an opening ceremony at 6:30 p.m. The Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk begins at 7:30 p.m.
Group spokesman Wylie Tene says participants will walk 16.7 miles. They are raising funds and awareness to develop suicide prevention programs and to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.
The American Federation for Suicide Prevention says about 1 million people make a suicide attempt each year, and about 38,000 died by suicide.
A rest stop is planned on the National Mall at 10 p.m. The walk ends at sunrise on Sunday morning at George Washington University.

This is the seventh of eight new articles by Olivia Mellan and Sherry Christie that continue the discussion on Your Client's Brain that began with Investment Advisor's February 2013 cover story—Double Think: Getting Past the Conflict in Your Clients' Two Brains—and a feature article—Second Thoughts: Making Better Decisions—in the March 2013 issue of IA.
"The older brain can remember a lot of things quite well, but aging is a vulnerability issue," says Brandman University psychology professor Paul Greenberg.
A recent study of nearly 750 older people in Scotland found that exercising several times a week protected the brain from age-related changes even better than social and mentally challenging activities. But even in healthy aging, Greenberg emphasized, "We have a general reduction in cognitive capacity and a specific decline in decision-making ability." Paradoxically, this decline is accompanied by increased confidence in our decision-making skills. These two developments often combine to make us more susceptible to insidious types of financial persuasion—the reason why scammers target older folks with deplorable success.
Researchers find that people make the best financial decisions in their mid-50s, as reported in a July AdvisorOne.com article by Michael Finke, a professor at Texas Tech University. Past that age, risk-adjusted investment returns tend to decline steadily. Advisors "need to acknowledge that cognitive decline is an important part of the retirement planning process," Finke wrote, and should plan for incapacity early in the client relationship, perhaps by requesting written authority to discuss the client's financial affairs with their designated attorney-in-fact if it should ever seem appropriate.
Dementia is not always easy to spot, as Investment Advisor contributing editor Marlene Satter pointed out in "You Must Remember This." "Family members may chalk up early signs to simple forgetfulness," she wrote. "Clients themselves may be unaware of their own condition, thus failing to reveal it for insurance underwriting without any attempt at deception."
The more you can encourage older clients to surround themselves with a team of trusted family members and experts, the more effectively you will be able to protect them from cognitive decline they may not recognize. You may want to schedule periodic meetings with these clients and other members of their team.
We invite you to visit the Your Client's Brain landing page on AdvisorOne for additional archived and ongoing coverage of this important topic.

Video clearly shows former Marine did not resist arrest
Paul Joseph Watson
May 20, 2013
Incarcerated political activist Adam Kokesh, arrested by police for exercising his First Amendment rights during a pro-marijuana legalization protest on Saturday, has been charged with "assaulting a federal police officer," despite the fact that the video of the incident shows him not resisting arrest.
Kokesh was kidnapped by Philadelphia police as he gave a keynote speech on Saturday. The former Marine was not smoking or in possession of any drugs when he was arrested.
Video of the incident shows Kokesh holding up his hands as he is dragged away. Not only did Kokesh not resist arrest, he made no aggressive moves to any police officer, as the footage clearly shows.
The United States district court filing (PDF) claims that Kokesh "physically blocked and obstructed the Ranger" and also "grabbed the Ranger by the arm to hold him back." The video does not appear to show any of this.
Along with assaulting a police officer, Kokesh is also facing charges of impeding a federal officer and resisting arrest.
Kokesh will not be allowed out on bail until at least Thursday because he is refusing to provide police with his home address and also refusing to divulge if he has firearms at his residence.
If he is charged with assaulting an officer, Kokesh will become the latest of a plethora of Americans who have been hit with such a charge despite acting in a totally peaceful and compliant manner. In some cases, people who have received brutal beat downs at the hands of police have later been charged with assaulting a cop.
The charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail, would almost certainly scupper Kokesh's plans of leading an armed march on Washington DC in July if authorities are able to make it stick.
Supporters of Kokesh are encouraging people to politely but firmly demand information on Kokesh's circumstances by calling the numbers below.
(1) US Attorney (Phila): (215) 861-8200
(2) US Magistrate (Phila): (215) 597-6079

If you got a tax extension back in April, it's time to put your tax return at the top of your to-do list again " those extensions expire Oct. 15.
If you got a tax extension back in April, it's time to put your tax return at the top of your to-do list again " those extensions expire Oct. 15. Here's how it works.Does this apply to me?If you filed IRS Form 4868 on or before the April 2018 filing deadline, you have until Oct. 15 " an extra six months " to file your tax return.If you didn't file IRS Form 4868 on or before the April 2018 filing deadline, and you didn't file your return either, you'd better get on it right away " your taxes are likely very, very late. The IRS can assess interest on your outstanding tax bill, as well as failure-to-file penalties and failure-to-pay penalties.What happens if I miss this October filing deadline?You'll owe more interest. A tax extension gives you more time to file your return, not more time to pay.You may owe a higher late-payment penalty. The IRS' late-payment penalty normally is 0.5% per month of the outstanding tax not paid by the April deadline. The maximum penalty is 25%. You might catch a break if you paid at least 90% of your actual tax liability by the April deadline and you pay the rest when you file your tax return.You may owe a late-filing penalty. The IRS can also sock you with a late-filing penalty of 5% of the amount due for every month or partial month your tax return is late. The maximum penalty is 25% of the amount due.How can I get an extension for my next tax return?
If you already know you'll need more time to do your taxes in 2019, be sure to file IRS Form 4868 on or before the tax filing deadline, which will be April 15 next year.Again, getting an extension does not give you more time to pay taxes you owe " it only gives you more time to file your tax return. �When you file for an extension, you �can �estimate what you owe and send some or all of that with your extension request. If the estimated payment ends up being less than what you actually owe, you'll likely need to pay interest on the difference. The longer that's outstanding, the more interest you may rack up.Don't blow off filing just because you can't pay the bill. The IRS offers installment plans if you can't pay your taxes.

Our cyclo-cross frame has been one of our best sellers since we started the biz, mainly because of its ability to be 'the' bike for so many different riders. It is so versatile... Road bike, trail bike, touring bike, kick-ass city bike and of course cyclo-cross.
Loaded Touring/Cargo
Itching to quench that wanderlust with an epic tour? Or do you just need to carry stuff on a regular basis?
The Buena Vista is a true mixte frame with the double top tube/stays. Obviously offers lots of standover height and style as well. You'll find the geometry is more sporty, than comfy. Though it can be built up to suit either demeanor. Drop bars? Sure. Moustache bars? Of course.
The first mountain bikes were made out of steel, but that is not why we decided to make these. We chose steel because it offers the best combination of value, comfort, and resiliency of all the popular frame materials. Hardly any folks these days buy a steel frame as their first mountain bike. It's those who've ridden a while and have tried aluminum and full suspension -- who come a knockin'. We do 29ers, 26ers, and 650B'ers.
Before the big brands came up with the jargon, "plush road" or "endurance road", we gave you road frames designed to let you crank along the tarmac for hours or days in comfort. Why endure hours and hours of energy-sapping road buzz to save a half pound of weight. Most of our frames take both fenders and racks, so they are practical as well as speedy.
Riding fixed gear is unlike any other cycling experience. It is fast and precise. It is exhilarating, but demanding. When you experience the spot-on geometry and carefully specced Tange Prestige CrMo tubes of the Rush, you'll understand how aptly named it is.

Mocha pudding cake (vegan!)
So this eating healthy thing is going pretty well. Obviously. The thing about this cake/mess is that I accidentally made it vegan in addition to being (obviously) gluten free. We are trying to drink things like milk alternatives (this week it's coconut milk) and I use Earth Balance instead of butter most of the time because it's easy to spread. This is pretty quick to whip up, should be eaten warm, with ice cream on top. I forgot the ice cream, but didn't feel too bad about it.
Mocha pudding cake
Recipe from here, posted on the Tasty Kitchen site
3/4 c sugar
1 c flour mix
1/4 t xanthan gum
2 t baking powder
a pinch of salt
3 T cocoa powder
3 T Earth Balance or butter alt.
1/2 c milk of your choice, I used coconut
1 t vanilla
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
4 T cocoa powder
1 1/4 c strong coffee (decaf for us!)
Preheat oven to 350 and lightly grease an 8x8 pan. Combine the first five ingredients and set aside. Melt the Earth Balance and stir in the 3 T cocoa powder. Combine this and the milk and vanilla, then stir into the flour mixture. Spread into the pan - batter will be thick, but that's fine. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining brown sugar and white sugar with the cocoa powder, and sprinkle over the top of the cake evenly. Pour the coffee over the top (seriously), and bake for 30-35 minutes.

Quite possibly the nicest person in the piercing industry!Amazing customer service, nothing is ever too much trouble, an absolute gem 💎
Great communication, nice prompt delivery of jewellery, good selection of QualiTi items and useful offer codes. Will be buying more jewellery/attachments soon!
Fantastic is the only word to describe the service! I'd lost my rook barbell and was struggling to find a replacement. Found this website on Google and dropped a message. Aysh was incredible, found exactly what I was looking for, was extremely responsive, posted the same day and now I am a proud owner or a super pretty QualiTi barbell! Thank you so much Aysh, you're the best ❤
Aysh goes above and beyond, and always ships orders as fast as she possibly can. She is knowledgeable and friendly, has great high quality affordable jewellery options as well as more luxury brands. I have been very happy with every purchase I've made. Always a great experience <3Via Facebook
I bought several pieces of QualiTi jewellery from Aysh for my lobes, and I get lots of compliments on them. Aysh was extremely helpful, very friendly to deal with and super quick to get my items to me. I will definitely be ordering from holeheartedldn.com when I'm next looking for more jewellery.
Upgraded some of my piercings to QualiTi jewelry and I couldn't be happier. They arrived the day after I ordered them and they all look beautiful in my ears. I went for the 'angel skin' collection. Upgrading my rook, septum, nostril and navel next!via Facebook.

Classic and exquisite, with the best looking slot game from Rabcat, the Forsaken Kingdom is what you would expect from the new game provider. There is no dearth of slots themed around the King Arthur, the Round Table and his 12 brave Knights. Standing out in this long list, is the dark and brooding Arthur and his quest of filling his table with the best knights of the realm.
The Forsaken Kingdom symbols
Medieval England era automatically means ornately designed castles, dark cloudy settings. Keeping to theme of the slot, the beautifully designed card symbols from 10, J, Q and K are the low paying symbols. The Camelot castle, Excalibur sword, King Arthur and the Black Knight form the high paying symbols.
The Forsaken Kingdom slot game is a 5 reel 20 payline game from the Rabcat games collection.
wilds: The wild lady Guinevere is the one who wields more power on the 5 reels than the rest of the symbols. She will substitute for the rest of the symbols except for the scatter symbols. She is stacked on the 3rd reels and let you have more winning chances.
strooi: The scatter symbol is the Shield. It is seen on any position on the reels. It is the trigger for the bonus games and the free spins.
There are three bonus games for you to try your luck on this slot game. Trigger the free spins by landing 3 or more of the scattered shield symbols on the reels. You can get between 5 and 12 free spins during this round.
King Arthur is looking to fill up the Round Table with brave Knights. And he is looking for you to complete the task. Play the Collected Knights feature and fill the round table and you can win exciting wins from this round. For every 2 shield symbols seen on the reels, you collect a Knight on the reel wheel.
Collect all the 12 Knights and you can be part of the Round Table of Fortune. Each of the 12 knights is worth something. Their combined average value called as the Bonus Bet will be your final reward for achieving this tedious task. It's calculated by the multiplying the table multiplier and the bonus bet.
The Forsaken Kingdom is fraught with battles and wars. Land the King Arthur besides the lady Guinevere on the top of the reels and you can win instant rewards through the Eternal Love Bonus game. Or else, have the King Arthur land next to the Dark Knight to trigger the Epic Battle Bonus game.
Min / maksimum weddenskap per draai (£/$/€): 0.01 to 2.0
Boerpot (£ / $ / €): 40,000 coins (bonus game)
Sluit gedagtes
There is no doubt that it's the terrific animations and graphics that's the pulling factor for the Forsaken Kingdom slot game. Inspite of the worn out theme, the new treatment meted out to this game will keep you playing it for a long time. Add to this the exceptional jackpot wins, and this is one Round Table that you will want to a part of!

Readers here may know Gary Ruddell for his science fiction and fantasy book covers. He did the cover art for Dan Simmons' Hyperion books, among many, many others. In the past six or seven years he's been turning his attention to gallery work. His latest exhibit:
Gary Ruddell "Small Changes"
Dolby Chadwick Gallery, San Francisco
October 5 - 29th
In the late 90s a friend of mine and I took a bike ride down the west coast of America — Vancouver to Tijuana. When we got to San Francisco we called Gary. He and his wife, Nora, invited us to stay for a couple of nights.
He picked us up in an old truck and politely asked if we would be offended by nude paintings in the house. He explained that he had a lot of his personal work hanging and was worried we might find it off-putting. Well, of course I would not be offended...but he did start me thinking that it might be some real tacky stuff, since he was asking. Not at all. He was doing some drop-dead gorgeous paintings..loose, contemplative...large scale and beautiful.
It was a time when he was really trying to focus more on that than his illustration work...his enthusiasm was infectious and it really set the mood for the whole weekend. We had offered to take them out to dinner but instead they had arranged an amazing dinner party. Good times. A real highlight of the trip.
I've haven't worked with Gary much since his switch to the gallery world but I am always tickled to get a new exhibit announcement from him each year or so.

Holy Moley! There's a LOT going on in that illustration, both thematically and compositionally.
My eye can see everything at once, but my brain can't stop moving through the details (scale, environment, perspective.)
You can't see either of their expressions, but it's just so damn... EXPRESSIVE.
Wow. This wowed me. Stunned.

Once I played FF11, I did not know how to get strong, someone told me that you must have FFXI Gil. He gave me some cheap Final Fantasy XI Gold, he said that I could buy FFXI Gil, but I did not have money, then I played it all my spare time. From then on, I got some FFXI gold, if I did not continue to play it, I can sell Final Fantasy XI gold to anyone who want.
sometimes you can go to earn the Pirates of the Burning Sea Gold for your own life and you can also get a lot of happiness in the game if you play the game well. you can brush the potbs gold to upgrade and then you are very strong. You think that you want to play the game well and then you can get the potbs Doubloon for your own. you can earn the potbs money alone and you can give some for your friends; it can make you very happy I think. As long as you play the game you can go to buy potbs Doubloon as the rewards in this game.

Jumping Into the Fray with Teaching with Historic Places
By James A. Percoco, History Teacher West Springfield High School, Springfield, Virginia
"A teacher," wrote historian and journalist Henry Adams, "can affect eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." How was I to know years ago, as I was pondering my future as a high school history teacher, that Adams, his quote, and the subsequent enigmatic sculpture that adorns his and his wife's grave in Washington, D.C.'s Rock Creek Cemetery would somehow coalesce to help make me the teacher I have become? Those who sink their hearts and souls into teaching young people about our collective past no doubt will encounter similar epiphanies along the way. In doing so, they will affect the lives of the students that sit before them. It is, I believe, a great part of the process; it's that great mysterious DNA that committed teachers understand in relationship with their students.
Bringing Historic Places into the Classroom
To be candid, had I not become a history teacher, I most likely would have found myself among the ranks of the many National Park Service rangers I have had the pleasure to work with during the last three decades. If you will permit me to wear my want-to-be ranger hat for a moment, I'd like to share with you how I have discovered that teachers of American history can cross over into the world of the cultural and historic resources of the National Park Service while still remaining enclosed by the cinderblock walls of their school. If you—like many in these fiscally tight times—can't take your students to visit historic sites, you have at your fingertips on the computer keyboard the ability to bring sites to your students right there in your classroom.
For more than twenty years the National Park Service has, through its Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) program provided for virtual field trips through the more than 135 lesson plans it has published. Written by teachers, National Park Service education specialists, and others, these lesson plans cover a wide range of themes that comprise the American narrative. The lessons meet national standards that are requisite for good history education, civic education, and service learning. They are pedagogically sound, reflecting best practices.
Let's return to Henry Adams. I mentioned an enigmatic sculpture that sits over his grave. That memorial, best known as the Adams Memorial, is one of the handiworks and masterpieces of America's greatest sculptor, Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Saint-Gaudens' home is a jewel unit of the National Park Service: Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, New Hampshire. In Cornish you can visit the sculptor's home and workshop, where you can see duplicate casts of a number of Saint-Gaudens' works, including the Adams Memorial.
If you are a teacher in Kansas and you want to introduce your students to the relationship between art and history, then you can go to the TwHP lesson plan, Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site: Home of a Gilded Age Icon. Here you will find an image of the Adams Memorial and an excerpt from Henry Adams, which he wrote in his Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography, The Education of Henry Adams, about his first encounter with the memorial after it was installed. The lesson plan provides teachers with sufficient historical background material to place the information in its proper context. The lesson submerges students in the story of Adams and his wife, Marian—nicknamed "Clover" and who committed suicide in 1885—and in the work of Saint-Gaudens that came to reflect Adams struggle with his wife's sudden death. Students then wrestle with a series of critical thinking questions that link the physical sculpture to what Adams wrote in his autobiography. At the same time students consider the work of art as art and make essential judgments about Saint-Gaudens' interpretation.
For many people the Adams Memorial has become the personification of Grief. The fact that "Grief" became the name often attributed to the shrouded bronze figure rankled Adams, which he makes abundantly clear in the excerpts students read. Because of my proximity to Washington, D.C., I am able to dispatch my students to see "the real McCoy." I ask my 11th and 12th grade students, as they visit the memorial with the background knowledge they have gained from the lesson plan, to consider their lives, and more specifically their futures, when they confront the work of Saint-Gaudens. You can do the same with your students by using the image of the Adams Memorial provided in the lesson.
Relating the Past to the Present
One of the tricks in my teacher tool bag is to always get my students to consider the relationship between the past and the present. One effective way I've found to help students understand that the American narrative is ever ongoing and will never be complete is to have them look at similar stories from our past that are separated by time and space but connected by raw emotion and the "stuff" of history.
A TwHP lesson that does this well is "From Canterbury to Little Rock." In this lesson students examine two school-related racial stories and compare 1830s events in Canterbury, Connecticut, with 1957 events in Little Rock, Arkansas. Students are forced to consider attitudes about race in both the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as encounter an American myth that racism is a purely southern phenomenon. Both stories are laced with race hatred, ways in which race relations have shaped American history, and how often that particular battleground has materialized in school settings.
As in the case of the Saint-Gaudens lesson plan, this TwHP lesson provides the necessary background and historical context to understand the dynamics that were at work in both episodes of race and education. This lesson challenges students to wrestle with their own attitudes about race as well and poses the question: how much work do we have left to do to insure equality in the United States? Many other lessons in the TwHP repertoire prompt the same type of questions and concerns by exploring the problems and promise of living in a diverse society.
"You can do anything you please," Augustus Saint-Gaudens often told his studio assistants and students. "It is the way a thing is done that makes a difference," he concluded. So it is true for making the teaching and learning of history. Don't be afraid to jump into the fray.

As the years advance, some things change and some things never change.
The need for advisors to connect with prospective clients remains a business imperative from year to year. But the ability to do so has increased exponentially in today's digital reality.
Rather than confine oneself to whoever shows up at a Kiwanis Club meeting, with all the difficulties inherent in generating quality discussions, an advisor today can develop his thoughts privately and reach a potentially unlimited audience through blogging.
"A blog lets you communicate some of your knowledge and passion; in the pre-blog days, this was impossible to create," says Susan Weiner, an independent financial writing consultant and author of the new book Financial Blogging: How to Write Powerful Posts That Attract Clients.
"Now, [with the advent of blogs]," she tells ThinkAdvisor in a phone interview, "by the time an advisor connects with a prospect, they already know the advisor is a good fit for them."
Incidentally, while an advisor might not necessarily know who's reading (or passing on links to) their blog posts, there are nevertheless successful strategies for getting in touch.
"Offer some kind of incentive or special report to get readers onto your e-mail list," says Weiner, who offers a mini e-book with investment writing tips to those who subscribe to her free e-newsletter.
While the advantages of blogging are available to advisors today, the challenges of blogging may well remain.
"Everybody wants to do it, but these people are not professional writers. That's not what their training prepared them to do," Weiner says. "Advisors can feel overwhelmed sitting at the computer typing a blog post."
That's where her book comes in, with its practical step-by-step guidance, including worksheets and checklists.
"Starting a blog can seem overwhelming," she says. "I try to take that feeling away from folks."
Weiner, a CFA with a professional background in financial services, initially faced her own struggles with effective communication.
"I didn't start as a good writer, so what I share in this book are some of the techniques that helped me along the way," she says.
What's more, before publishing her 107-page book, she tested its ideas with "real, live advisors" through a private online community "where I posted lessons and advisors posted their homework."
Among her key findings are that, just as defining a niche is critical to building an advisory practice, so too is a niche mentality important in financial blogging.
"The most important thing is to identify who your target audience is and to write for them," she says. "Don't try and write for the whole world of prospects out there."
Rather, if advisors "speak" to a narrow enough audience, your audience is "going to feel understood. You have to carry that understanding into the way that you write," Weiner says.
Another blogging imperative missing from many blogs is a sense (on the part of the author) of "why should readers care?"
"What problem does the blog post solve for the reader? If you can identify some nagging problem and you can address it, you can [connect with] the reader," Weiner says.
The financial writing consultant also offers ideas for those who are not strong writers:
"You can…get away with short posts by commenting on somebody else's work," she says. "For example, if there's an article in the newspaper that's getting attention, you can link to it but give your spin on it. 'Here's what this person said in the Wall Street Journal, and here's my take.' It's not as powerful as [a more developed] blog, but gives you a chance to express an opinion."
There's canned content — but that makes it harder for an advisor to stand out, she says. And standing out is the whole purpose of maintaining a blog — addressing the problem of differentiating the advisor from a vast army of professionals who are offering quite similar products and services.
Another approach for writing-challenged advisors:
"For folks who don't like to write but are very articulate, they can embed a podcast on their blog or [produce] a slideshow using Slide Share, or video." There's also ghost-blogging.
Whatever the problem, there are solutions. One that comes up often is compliance, but Weiner says that's not as big a deal as many imagine it to be.
"It just takes sitting down with your compliance officer and getting a sense of what's acceptable and what' not," she says. "If you're going to stay away from discussing specific investments and guaranteeing returns, you have a fair amount of leeway."

It's common practice in my shop to build ActiveX DLL's which contain frequently
used code (INI File access, etc.). I've been taught that it was better to
use common classes instead - easier to debug, simpler installation, etc.
Is there a reason to use DLL's instead? The only possible reason I can
think of is possible MTS - any others?

Drive-Thru Restaurants Prove Speed Is Definitely Not on the Menu
It seems like the fast is disappearing from the 'fast food.'
A new study has found that the average drive-thru time at seven fast food chains rose more than eight seconds from last year. It took about 180.83 seconds to complete an order, compared to 172.64 seconds last year.
The study focused on seven restaurants -- Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Krystal, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Taco John's, and Wendy's.
Here's a look at how the chains fared:
- Wendy's 133.63 seconds
- Taco Bell – 158.03 seconds
- Taco John's 181.19 seconds
- McDonald's – 189.49 second
- Burger King – 198.48 seconds
- Chick-fil-A – 203.88 seconds
- Krystal – 217.89 seconds
Burger King was the lone eatery whose time improved from last year, which apparently came at a price – it had the worst accuracy rate, getting only 82.3% of drive-thru orders right. That's below the 87.2% average and far below industry leader Chick-fil-A, which got 91.6% of drive-thru orders correct.
As for why drive-thru times may be on the rise, well, pundits claim menus are getting more complicated as chains spruce up the items they offer, including healthier alternatives that may take a little longer to make.

Get to a Bisons Game: CLICK HERE!
TODAY'S GAME: This afternoon, the Buffalo Bisons face the Columbus Clippers in the first game of a four-game series from Coca-Cola Field (1:05 p.m.). The Bisons had yesterday off to return home from a 1-3 series in Pawtucket against the Red Sox. Today's game is the start of an eight-game homestand as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs will visit Buffalo from May 25-28.
OLD FRIENDS, NEW FOE: The Clippers come to town for the first time as the Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. Led by former Buffalo Bisons player and manager Torey Lovullo, the Clippers roster features 16 former Bisons players, including Buffalo's 2007 Most Valuable Pitcher LHP Jeremy Sowers and 2008 Bisons All-Star LHP Rich Rundles.
TWICE AS NICE: OF Fernando Martinez belted a pair of home runs in Tuesday's loss, his team-leading sixth and seventh homers of the season. The only other Bison to homer twice in a game this year is INF/OF Nick Evans, who went deep twice on April 16 against Scranton/WB. Martinez also went deep on Monday, making him the first Bisons player to homer in back-to-back games since OF Jason Cooper homered in three straight, May 20-24, 2008.
MORE F-MART: With his two-homer game, OF Fernando Martinez is back on top of the International League with 22 extra-base hits. His 13 doubles are tied for the 2nd-most in the IL while his two triples are tied for 5th-most. Martinez leads the Bisons in all three triple crown categories, hitting .287 with seven home runs and 23RBI.
SOLID DEBUT: C/INF Javier Valentin's Bisons career has gotten off to a great start. The veteran has six hits in six games, averaging .316 (6-19) with a home run, four RBI and three walks. Four of his six hits have driven in runs for the Bisons. Valentin hit .256 (33-129) with four home runs and 19RBI in 94 games with the Cincinnati Reds in 2008.
ON THE CHARTS: RHP Brandon Knight is tied for 2nd in the International League with 46 strikeouts. Even more impressive is those 46 punchouts have come in only 44.0 innings of work in seven starts. Knight has struck out seven or more batters in five of his seven starts.
